Sorry this is late: Alex and I were both swamped last weekend. The major doorcrasher, Avengers: Infinity War, wasn’t available for preorder anyway.

Comments

Blaine: Arguably Eddie Murphy’s worst movie. It was completed and shelved for 14 months before they found a month with so little competition that they thought they had a shot of making back the budget. Spoiler: they didn’t. The estimated budget is $100 million, and the worldwide gross was just barely over $7 million. Currently #81 in the IMDB bottom 100 list, it took home the Razzie award for “worst comedy of our first 25 years.” I have to be honest, I kind of want to see it after all of that.

Very atmospheric cyberpunk anime. To give an idea of the tone, the production comittee licensed “Paranoid Android” by Radiohead to use as the theme song, and insisted that the US licensors get the rights to that song as well.

Live-action film about the lab assistant of a mad scientist (played by actual Japanese Kota Ibushi) being made huge to fight a Kaiju.

Blaine: This is a stage remake on film starring Kevin Kline and Angela Lansbury, not the first film based on the play.

Comments

Blaine: Part of me has long been irked by the claim that Jules Verne created science fiction, for two reasons. One, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein predates his work by a LOT. Two, he doesn’t extrapolate science, he applies existing and verified technology in new ways. I maintain that he created a genre better titled “engineering fiction” than “science fiction”.

Blaine: If Ryan Reynolds’ career hadn’t become what it has, this never would have had a 4K release.

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Ergo Proxy has been on my to-watch list for a while, and since Amazon and Disney are having a snit, I’d recommend checking this out in the mean time.” Blaine says, “pick up Avengers: Infinity War from the alternative retailer of your choice.”
